    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I love the U.S. "Super Mario Bros 2" and think they need to revisit that style of gameplay again in the future. "Super Mario Sunshine" is annoying to play.

    Bad movies thread

    A favorite bad movie I absolutely adore is "Squirm," which was filmed in Alabama, and I think it starred several local actors in various supporting roles, but the defining feature was that it asked you buy earthworms as the movie's monster. Yes, really. Basically, downed power lines trailing...

    If Rareware never left Nintendo...

    That is one version of the story I've read. Honestly, I've heard about three or four different ways. The most cynical but believable to me is that they were told to make it Starfox so it could never be ported to another console.

    Novelties from older games that you kinda miss?

    I'm aware. I'm just saying I miss having a fully completed game in my hands on the day I buy it. I never realized what a freaking luxury it was until I beheld the horror of "Assassin's Creed: Unity". I think we as gamers just gave too much ground over the years.

    Favorite console accessory?

    The Super Gameboy and the similar Gamecube add-on that let you play Gameboy Adance games on it.

    If Rareware never left Nintendo...

    I thought that happened so Rare's final game would be a Nintendo exclusive they couldn't port to other systems. Am I wrong?

    Novelties from older games that you kinda miss?

    Games being completed by the dev team upon release being the norm. That's one novelty I miss from older games. I am so tired of post-release patches being a necessity in a lot of modern titles.

    The rabbit hole runs deep with me.

    Are there really any terrible Mario games?

    It is merely lacking at first. It becomes painful later. Believe me, I tried to get through it.

    A desire to talk Mario and other Nintendo games.

    If Rareware never left Nintendo...

    We'd have a Dinosaur Planet that wasn't forced to become a Starfox game, for one thing.

    Are there really any terrible Mario games?

    Hotel Mario, a terrible spinoff game so bad you'll wish you'd never been born while playing it. Seriously, the cutscenes while hilarious are not worth it.

    The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

    So I am speaking to someone whose frame of reference for what is Mario is very different from mine. I grew up when Mario was still a Brooklyn plumber and had a deep voice.

    The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

    I will try to get my hands on the NSMB and 3D Land games, if my finances allow for it. A large portion of my game collection are usually Birthday and Christmas presents, because God knows I can't afford most of them, myself. Oh, and I forget a couple of games for my list of "played games." The...

    Your headcanons

    My headcanon is of a stubbornness to refuse to accept Nintendo's revised backstory for the Mario brothers. To me, they'll always be those Brooklyn plumbers who got sucked through a magic drainpipe into the Mushroom kingdom.

    Should There be a Super Mario Maker Sequel?

    I don't think it's a matter of "should" or "shouldn't", per se. I think a sequel is an inevitable eventuality. It might take a while, but I guarantee it will be made someday, should or shouldn't be damned.

    The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

    Hi, I am the Strange Avian, and I have found new roosting grounds. I've been a Mario fan since I was 4 years old (32 now), ever since I first played the original NES Super Mario Brothers on my Cousin's console. I've had a long history with the series but I've stuck through it through the good...
